Massive SQL Date Time Cheat Sheet
Anyone who has been involved in SQL will undoubtedly tell you wargames they played when they had to manipulate date time data via SQL.
Here are code snippets to multiple Date and Time calculations most, if not all, MS-SQL developers have needed at some stage with the following, commonly used MS SQL date functions:
Enjoy!
